                Her excuse of being out for a sudden call into work seemed to work well enough-- even with his small fit there nothing questioned, nothing suspicious. As unfortunate as it was for her to have to upset him with this disheartening (albeit false) news, it worked in her favor a bit. Her return to the apartment was not only a (hopefully) pleasant surprise, but she brought gifts! "I was worried that my late shopping would leave me with little options, but I think I managed just fine..." With a small chuckle, presented to Sigma with bashful eagerness is a handful of shopping bags.

"Ta-da! Happy Valentine's Day." Several of the bags, while small in size, contained assorted treats such as chocolates and carved fruits-- while one bag in particular was heavy with trinkets such as sizeable geodes, a generic teddy bear and a beautifully designed sun catcher. "I hope it makes up for my little lie this morning."

                  It’s difficult to suppress the sensation of abandonment whenever Angela leaves for work-- although he feels he’s gotten better about it. That is, when he expects it; as understanding and patient as he tries to be, it’s difficult not to want to fly off of the proverbial handle whenever something calls her attention away from him.  SIGMA feels guilty after she leaves, having allowed his frustration to get the better of him and shed tears over the whole thing.

Initially, her return catches him off-guard-- taken aback by the rapidity of which she returns to the apartment. He is, however, confused, by the variety of bags she totes inside and deposits onto the coffee table before him. On one hand, he’s still a little sensitive-- especially when Angela confirms it to have been a lie this entire time... On the other, however.... who doesn’t like gifts...? SIGMA leafs through a couple of the bags with the same tentativeness as a cat, the vinyl bags crinkling softly as his large hand sifts through. Strange-- had there always been this many holidays? Or had he simply never taken time to notice, in his former life? It’s nice to have a second chance, to experience things like this for the first time again.

                   .... Especially with Angela-- regardless of whatever SIEBREN says.

“-- Tch! Well, I suppose I can overlook it...“ He tries to sound mad about it, he really does not appreciate the idea of being lied to-- even if it was under the guise of being a ‘surprise’... Ah, but look how pleased she is with herself... It’d be cruel of him to spoil her mood exclusively because his feelings are a little stung-- he isn’t SIEBREN, after all. He should be grateful that Angela had even considered him at all... “-- Just this once! Only because you are SO sweet!” He adds hastily.

                    A small heart-shaped piece of chocolate is plucked from one of the bags, the foil peeled away via gravity in favor of placing the treat onto his tongue. Ah... so rich! He tries to make a mental note of not gorging himself on sweets too quickly, lest he spoil his appetite for lunch with all of the sugar. “... This is nice! Thank you!“ SIGMA chimes affirmatively as he savors the way the candy melts in his mouth with hardly a need to chew. The adorable little bear finds itself cradled to his stomach as if it were a real animal, the plush, white fur contrasting against his faded black jumpsuit sharply as a large arm sits lazily coiled around it. Really, despite it just being a plastic comfort toy, he loves being able to hold it as tightly as he wanted without fear of harming a real, living thing.

What’s remarkable, is just how excited one man can get over receiving yet another suncatcher when he already owned so many hanging around the apartment as-is.

                  “-- Oh, OH! This one is BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE IT!�� He cringes a little at his own volume, giving Angela an apologetic smile as the suncatcher is pulled from the bag entirely so that he can inspect it up against the light. Its centerpiece is just a relatively cheap, resin crystal heart-- but it gleams and shimmers with similar properties to glass all the same. “Hm... I think I will put up this one in the bedroom! The space by the balcony is getting a tad crowded... Hehe...! I feel as though if I placed anymore there, we may start signaling ships off of the coast during the day with how bright your living room has become!“

The items are discarded briefly, however, in favor of lifting from his spot on the sofa to lurch towards her, aloft in the air, so that he may hug her. His deceptively massive body collides with hers as if he weighed little more than a pillow as strong arms eagerly ensnare the doctor, shoving his face up against Angela’s as he bumps his nose against hers affectionately-- something typically reserved only for SIEBREN, himself.

                     “... You make me feel so special! Thank you, Miss Angela!“

Sombra is trying very, very, very hard not to giggle. "Awww, it's not half-hearted! It's at least...three-quarters-hearted. Seven-eighths-hearted? The hair is cute!"

 “ You have to be doing this on purpose– It’s called symbolism, but thank you for the half-hearted compliment. ”

          For a moment, Junkrat was unusually quiet as he stared at his favorite blonde medic. Did she mean a good bite or a bad bite? Well there was only one way to find out, he supposed! With a soft giggle he gently poked her sides in a tickling, playful manner. “Ya’ can nibble me anytime, luv.”

“One body, two souls”

Send “One body, two souls” to see what I think the fusion of our muses would be like

I FORGOT THE SECOND PAIR OF ARMS I’M GONNA SCREAM. BUT IMAGINE THEM LITHE AND SPINDLY WITH A BOMB IN EACH HAND. PLS IGNORE ANYTHING THAT SUCKS ASS.........

So I went hard on this one ok. They’re incredibly unstable. Their form is somewhat... inconsistent in how large it is and width and shit.And again, his personality is a very strong one, so a lot of his features are pretty prominent. Angela and Rat’s core beliefs, objectives, and morals are so starkly different and poor Angela doesn’t seem to know how to reason with Primed.

So there’s... a lot to unpack here. A lot of symbolism that I don’t wanna mention unless asked about it! Or talked to about it! because I wanna see how many people pick up on it.

First off, bc of my abilities, some stuff doesn’t come off as nicely as I want it to. The wings are meant to be very scrappy and mechanical and the staff’s top has a bomb in it (that’s not a tongue it’s a fuse dlkghalksdj)

Ok on to the rest.

It’s also super unstable because Rat doesn’t like doctors. Now here’s one literally merged with him. It also creates a tension that makes him want to be incredibly contrary. Whatever she asks him not to do? He’s gonna do it 10x harder. The fusion is in a constant pull of hurt and heal. Imagine it as having the old Rez ult but it’s only used after they accidentally fucking murdered everyone around them trying to murder the guys they were trying to murder. Think Rat’s volatile nature lashing out only to come back to heal. Think making deals with demons. ‘Heroes never die! For a price.’

Their tattoo is of a bird’s nest, but instead of eggs, there are explosives, one of which a many-eyed snake is trying to consume.

I call them ‘fallen angel’ :3c

@flashofyellowlights​ said,

             ❝you seem to have such an affinity for cute things.❞

                   “... And just how could I not! I-- I-I know that a lot of this is... well, stuff that I have already seen in life! But the funny thing is, ever since I was released from captivity, it is as if everything is... new again! I find a lot of things VERY cute and new and exciting! Namely animals! I think insects are cute because they are so small-- mammals because they are usually SO soft and fuzzy and warm... Oh, I just love how things are alive! How life can be so diverse and so similar; so complex YET SO SIMPLE! How every living thing has its very own life to live! Experiences to... well, experience! The way life becomes a spectrum with such biological and ecological diversity! The way both plants and animals and humans are alive and sensate! My goodness...! So many reasons, and such a short span of time to articulate why! I do not know how I could possibly articulate why!“ She had come home much earlier than anticipated, only to find him lying on the carpet on his stomach, tormenting a stray cockroach that had been attempting to crawl around in the sink by keeping it tethered on an unseen, gravitic leash from which it was struggling in vain to escape.

Granted, he saw no reason why she felt the need to kill the poor thing, though...

                 “-- Personally, what I find cutest would have to be...“ A slender, gloved index finger taps at his chin pensively before scratching at the white stubble lining his jaw as he rolls onto his back to gaze up at Angela thoughtfully. “-- Ah, yes! Definitely humans! Well... to an extent! I-- uh.... prefer to observe humans at a distance... I LOVE animals, but... I like humans a little more at times exclusively for two reasons-- one, I adore how wonderfully sentimental humans have the tendency to be, how they project their emotions on to inanimate or unemotional things. Like how they ascribe “personalities” to animals. Secondly, I think humans are very romantic for that reason! How they connect and interact not only with just one another, but with animals as well on such a fundamentally different level than any other lifeform found here on Earth!”

“That’s another reason why I like it here!“ SIGMA chimes enthusedly, beaming up at her before his ANOMALY negates gravity and allows him to lurch into the air to lazily drift around her on his side in a slow, loose orbit.

                     ‘... And what would that be, SIGMA?‘ Angela asks, and although she sounds quite charmed by his emphatic dissertation, there’s a touch of clear confusion at the way he chooses to phrase it, by the way she cocks her head to the side curiously to watch him lazily encircle her.

“-- I greatly enjoy being able to observe human behavior up close in such a calm environment; I do not feel so out of place when observing you! You especially can be so cute sometimes!“ And he clearly means this, judging by the way he curls into himself with a soft squeal of delight momentarily. “-- L-like how you enjoy putting little hearts and faces on the food when you make me breakfast! Or, or... Ah! One of my FAVORITE of moments, is when you want to show or surprise me with something! I love the way you seem SO invested in my initial reaction that you cannot help but glance over to me!” Unfortunately, he’s found a new tangent: gushing over all of the note-worthy candid behaviors Angela exhibited.

                       “I love the way you treat SIEBREN, especially, too... Such as the way you can hold the same amount of compassion for him as I do-- even when you do not share my level of patience with him! And I adore the way you go SO far out of your way just to make us feel so safe here! I know he never says it, but I can tell that he is infinitely more comfortable around you than anyone back at the TALON facility!“ A partial lie, but he tries not to think too hard about Sombra-- he feels so guilty for leaving without the opportunity to at least say goodbye to her, after all she had done for him at his most emotionally vulnerable and arguably his worst. Maybe one day he’ll have the opportunity to say everything he wants to tell her, about Angela and the apartment... how much livelier SIEBREN has become since abandoning TALON... SIGMA just had to be patient-- he knows it. “Even in just the few months we have been living with you, I... I’ve never known him to be so... active! Typically within TALON, I, exclusively, was the, ah... “active” one, while SIEBREN would ignore everything around us. He used to only ever make an appearance exclusively upon the field when I became too frightened or hurt! I swear!“

“... But here...? He is so sociable lately! It is as if he is a completely different person! I would even be so inclined as to say he MUST like you! I think he just has difficulty in knowing how to express his needs and likes-- I have known him for twenty-two years now, and I still feel as though there is always new information I find myself learning in regards to him, and I do genuinely believe he takes notice of all of the kind things you go out of your way to do not only for him, but for myself as well! He becomes SO upset when I am not treated according to his expectations-- there is no way he would ever overlook that, regardless of whatever he may say or do otherwise. I know that much-- and you treat me best out of any!“

... Don’t tell the bitch that, you little fucking liar! I couldn’t care any less!

                 A short, tittering laugh bubbles up from SIGMA’S broad chest, a hand cupping over his mouth mischievously-- though, he won’t share his counterpart’s antagonistic remark to her directly. “... Ehehe...! Personally, I also really quite enjoy the way you exhibit the curious compulsion to, ah... tuck me in when you get up to get ready for work...! And the kisses... Oh, and how you always seem inclined to play with my hair! How when you prepare a batch of cake or cookies, you will bring the bowl of leftovers to me just so that I may also have a taste!“

“... I just do not know what it is about you! I could not say! You are just so cute and SO kind and SO GENTLE! TALON handled me so roughly-- as if I was steel and without feeling; but you? You treat me as though I am made of the most delicate of crystalline glass...! As though I do possess value... Simply because I do!“

                  “-- Ah...!  I love, love, LOVE that about you, Miss Angela...! Truly!“

[tlacehualli]

Noticing the pattern of when Sombra would show her face in Angela's office did help her maintain some semblance of sanity. It allowed her to clear her schedule lest the hacker pushes her luck and gets the both of them caught by some passerby or visitor-- and it allows the doctor to have some kind of mental brace for whatever nonsense Sombra brings that day. And tonight was no different, as company was waiting for her in her apartment just like clockwork. What wasn't expected-- nor appreciated by any means-- was the fact Sombra made herself at home again in the worst way possible. The heart-shaped box of chocolates on her counter had been unwrapped, opened, and now being eaten. A bit more silence follows before Angela speaks, seemingly awed by the audacity of this woman. "... Those weren't for you."

She looks up in mock guilt, her lower lip jutting out, and then pointedly grabs another chocolate and bites it in half. The movement is exaggerated to the point of being ludicrous, slow and intentional - and then she cackles and replaces the lid on the box of chocolates, pushing it away.

"It's not my fault you're two minutes late. I got bored." Sombra pops the other half of the chocolate into her mouth, chewing thoughtfully. She quirks her head to the side and examines Angela, as if she's running some sort of algorithm on her (which is precisely what's happening). Whatever the result, she makes her decision.

"So, who's the lucky person?" Mischief is the answer, apparently, 'cause she's got her elbows on the counter and she's intently leaning forward to scrutinize every minute change of expression on Angela's face. Like a bored cat playing with their food, with a lot less blood. "Oooh, is it someone I know? Should I be jealous? Guao. I even brought you a flower." She points to the side and she sure did - it's a trio of orchids in pale lavender, dark pink on the inside. Whether that was just to fuck with her or it actually meant something was not something Sombra was particularly analyzing, thank you very much.

@flashofyellowlight Talon!Angela verse thing

It’s been a longer while since he felt this terrified. A loved one suddenly becoming a real threat, a fully skilled and weaponised danger. He can feel his heart sink in his chest. His mind whispers only rushed denials, ushering him to start running. But instead he swallows, trying to force horribly dry throat to work. He can lie and act better than this.

“Angela, what are you doing?” For a brief moment a voice in his head shrieks in frustration that being dumb won’t help him now. Without him realising, he’s tightening grip on the tantō. He won’t go without proper fight. Not harming her might be bit challenging though.

He should’ve known. He should’ve know when she went missing. When none of them could track her. He. Should’ve. Known. “What happened to you?”
